Water once a week or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering. Water in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Always check your soil before watering.
Light
Bright indoor light or indirect sun. 6 hours to 8 hours
Temperature
Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.

Plant Bio
The Salvinia Water Plant is a beautiful floating aquatic fern that brings life, texture, and balance to ponds, aquariums, and water gardens. Known for its delicate oval leaves with soft hairs that repel water, Salvinia creates a lush green carpet on the water surface while improving the ecosystem of your aquatic space.
This floating plant is an excellent choice for aquariums and garden ponds in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, as it helps control algae growth by limiting excess sunlight penetration. The Salvinia Water Plant also absorbs nitrates and other nutrients, keeping the water clean and healthy for fish and other aquatic life.
Caring for Salvinia is simple—just place it on the water surface and allow it to spread naturally. It requires indirect sunlight, moderate warmth, and minimal maintenance. Trim occasionally to prevent overcrowding and maintain balance in your pond or tank.
Compatible with koi ponds, goldfish tanks, and freshwater aquariums, the Salvinia Water Plant pairs beautifully with other floating plants like duckweed, water hyacinth, and frogbit. For best results, ensure good water circulation without strong currents.
